WPD Officers Arrest Woman After Disturbance at Courthouse

For Immediate Release: 10/14/2022 12:00 pm

On October 14th 2022 at about 9 AM, Worcester Police officers assigned to the Court Liaison unit were informed that someone tried to enter the Courthouse with a firearm. Officers stopped the criminal hearing in progress to respond to the entrance to the building, where they located Darlene Nguyen, thirty-year-old of Queen St. Officers saw her bag, which had what appeared to be a loaded silver revolver in plain view. Officers immediately detained Ms. Nguyen, who does not have a license to carry firearms.

Further investigation revealed that the firearm was an airsoft replica, not a working firearm. Officers informed Ms. Nguyen that she was under arrest for Disrupting a Court Proceeding, Disturbing the Peace, and Carrying a Dangerous Weapon. She became enraged and began screaming, causing a further disturbance. She will be arraigned in court.
